ABSTRACT
Paleolithic type artifacts were found in southeastern Oregon on a hill overlooking a valley and basin that were covered by Pliocene Lake Idaho. Woodworking tools have been identified that probably were used in making dugout canoes and primitive log rafts. They would have been useful only when Lake Idaho was full and reached the artifact site. The Lake was filled approximately 8.5 to 5.5 million years ago, dried up for at least a million years, and then again was filled 4 to 2.5 million years ago. Surfaces of artifacts show two widely separated periods of time in which they were made and used. Because the artifacts apparently were made when the lake was full, the oldest are approximately 8 million years old and the youngest are over 2.5 million years old. Some types of tools are reported for the first time. Photographs of 230 artifacts include 860 in black and white and 17 in color.

Man has been in the Americas for at least 50,000 years !,
By Fernando Bicudo (São Luís, Maranhão Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Paleolithic; Boat Building Eight Million Years Ago (Hardcover)
In Brazil, there are archeological sites dating from 48,000 BC in the Northeast Region. The pre-historical people that lived in palaphits on the lakes of the "Baixada" Region of Maranhão State, plus the "Seven Cities" and "Capivara Mountain" Historical National Parks in the State of Piaui and "Lagoa Santa" in the State of Minas Gerais, are widely recognized presences of ancient men in Brazil much earlier than the North American sites. There are new thesis that men first came to the American from Africa to the Northeast cost of Brazil. And not from Asia through the Behring Strait or through the Pascoa Island in the Pacific. I think it is quite possible that we were in the Americas eight million years ago - why not ?

Is this science fiction?,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Paleolithic; Boat Building Eight Million Years Ago (Hardcover)
Alleged discovery of 3 to 8 million-year-old woodworking tools in North America stretches credultity beyond the breaking point. Archeologists are beginning to accept the possibility that there were humans in the western hemisphere as early as 50 thousand years ago, but even this is still controversial. The Clovis culture of approximately 10,500 BC is the earliest on which there is broad concensus. Even in Africa, the most primitive Olduwan stone tools are only 2.5 million years old or so.
